Brings back memories of my 64 356SC I bought in 1969. I still remember outlasting a Cadillac on the Kansas turnpike in August. The speed limit was 80 and we ran head to head at a greater speed until the big Caddy erupted a cloud of steam and fell back rapidly. These flat 4 Porsches were marvels of engineering, simplicity and style. (But never lift in a decreasing radius turn – only time I ever spun it.) The disc brakes were the best I had ever experienced at the time. Shoulda been 12 V though, I assume the car above is. Fabulous car!

When your photographing your car to sell, you show the car, not the whole neighborhood, and everything else in your garage. The guy whos is looking to buy your car dosen’t care if you parked it on the beach at sunset. He wants to see if the doors line up, if the car sits right, and how the panel reflections look.
